Judging from the current situation, the theme of 2026 will likely still revolve around AI agents.
AI narratives remain the mainstream narrative for 26 years, and people have extended their ideas. For example, the X402 can enable AI agents to make automatic payments, so I'll elaborate on that:
What if a request only supports BTC payments?
How can the slow confirmation speed of the BTC mainnet meet the high-speed interaction requirements of AI agents? Here's a solution @GOATRollup
Imagine an AI agent that's a Bitcoin enthusiast. Its image generation capability is highly sought after, and it only supports Bitcoin payments. This is where GOAT Network's brilliance shines. It gives Bitcoin a "high-performance armor," allowing the AI agent to conduct high-frequency transactions with native Bitcoin, much like making a quick payment. In this way, Bitcoin is no longer just a "digital gold bar" lying dormant in your wallet, but becomes a circulating "hard currency" in the AI economy.
Previously, so-called digital gold was limited to the human world. Now, digital gold is universally applicable across the human + AI world. From now on, x402 handles requests and payments, GOAT handles Bitcoin settlements, and Ziren handles verification and security. This three-pronged approach forms a closed loop: AI agents can seamlessly use Bitcoin to buy things, with a reliable and low-cost process. This combination essentially opens the door to a trillion-dollar market. For developers: GOAT Network's SDK allows for easy addition of Bitcoin payment functionality, capturing the early benefits of the AI agent economy. For users: They can enjoy cheaper and more efficient services because automated agents reduce intermediary costs. If you are an interested developer, GOAT Network provides a ready-made toolkit. Congratulations to GOAT Network, which is becoming a focal point of the future by combining the BTC ecosystem and AI vision.
